About the author
Mabel Wood Martin (1888–1956) was an American novelist whose name remains attached to early 20th-century fiction, including The Green God's Pavilion: A Novel of the Philippines. That novel is available today through Project Gutenberg, which helps confirm her continuing place in the public-domain literary record.
Reliable biographical details about her life are limited in the sources I could confirm during this search. A memorial record indicates she lived from 1888 to 1956, but beyond those dates and her published work, I found only sparse, scattered information.
Even so, her surviving books suggest a writer interested in vivid settings and dramatic storytelling. For listeners who enjoy rediscovering overlooked authors, she offers the appeal of a voice from another era whose work is still accessible today.
